I end up with all the “broken” laptops my family replaces after they buy new ones.
I’ve got like 9 laptops. Active ones are my Linux one, work one (windows 11) and my wife’s school one (windows 11). We both have win 10 desktops still.
Comment on The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice

They are all my personal laptops from different parts of my past, that I just never threw away when I upgraded

If you keep forgetting them for another ~15-25 more years they might have value in the retro space.

That’s reasonable; I just wouldn’t have called my wife’s laptop my laptop I guess. It was either that or there was probably an interesting story behind it.
